"Koehler's mind is amazing and he has the literary skills to match. Simply reading this book, both your mind and your heart will be expanded. You won't see the world quite the same after reading it, so in a very real way the world won't be the same. Koehler is one of those extraordinary souls who makes you think a bit differently about the world - and thus he changes it, one essay at a time." - Marianne Williamson, author of Tears to Triumph: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Enlightenment Koehler is "someone who has fought through unthinkable adversity and made a mission out of offering the world a view of peace, cooperation, benevolence and self-education taken on for the common good. I don't know many people in the world, if any, who are putting their shoulder to so noble a task. ... He empowers his readers to find the highest levels of personal philosophy in the most innocuous of places." - Jason Stoneking, author of Audience of None

Loving is a close second on the list of the painful. Temptation says to wait, ponder, and then simply forget. Still, lingering in some dismal place in your mind are the flashing dark faces. You feel beads of sweat dripping down your face. Tears fill your eyes. You remember that long day, that pain, for it will never fade away. Go back, today is now that day. Sitting in a group of other children, you are the lone, brave five-year old. Some memories are foggy for time has cast its mystical web over them. Some memories are still clear, burned into your mind like etched paintings on cathedral windows, only these images are not blissfully beautiful.

She answered the wild call of the Highlands and the traitorous yearnings of her heart . . . .

Finally, after nine years in exile, Iain MacLeod, the Black Beast of Cullayne, had returned to inherit his lands--and claim his bride. Lillias vowed to hate the man for the murderous acts of his people. But MacLeod swore to make her his wife in more than name only. For he saw the desire in her eyes and knew she couldn't fight the longing that burned within her. But the Highlands were a cauldron of intrigue and feuding. As breathlessly as Lillias and Iain's passion blossomed into love, deceit and treachery threatened to destroy it all . . . . "Peggy Hanchar is a genius at portraying life, love and the pursuit of happiness." --Affaire de Coeur

Women’s Worlds, a new anthology of women’s writing, makes available a broad range of women’s voices from across time, across classes, and across the globe in a slimmer, more flexible, and more affordable format. This new anthology includes selections from the 14th through the 21st centuries, from the first text by a woman published in English (Julian of Norwich’s Revelation of Divine Love) to selections by contemporary writers like Barbara Kingsolver, Alison Bechdel, and Zadie Smith. The selections are drawn from Britain and North America, but also from Africa, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, and the Caribbean--wherever English is spoken. While classics of fiction, poetry, and drama are provided, the text also includes essays, song lyrics, letters, diary entries--even excerpts from domestic handbooks and a graphic memoir--to represent the full range of women’s voices. And Cultural Coordinates essays provide insights into customs and costumes from purdah to life before the Pill. To expand the choice of novels instructors wish to assign, McGraw-Hill also offers works from Library of Women's Literature at a discount.
